    I mean, the language of the 14th Amendment couldn’t be any clearer.

    The 2nd Amendment, on the other hand, always mentioned the “well-regulated militia.” When this is over, if SCOTUS decides the plain language of 14 doesn’t matter, I guess it’s time to seriously look at the public health emergency that is unregulated access to guns.

      The Constitution is as good as the powers-that-be’s willingness to abide by it. And right now, all it’s good for is as toilet paper for Trump’s ample ass.
